Now that we have an ICS build to play with (see dev thread here), has anyone tried using Boot Manager with it?
In theory it shouldn't matter what version of Android is being installed, but before I buy it I want to make sure it'll be at least a semi-painless process switching between everyday-use GB and testing-for-fun ICS.

Until we get hardware acceleration I wouldn't recommend it but it should be possible. I can't remember if I was successful in booting it. I think I was for the SDK but didn't test it. It would be awfully slow, even slower than a normal boot.
I was able to boot Alpha 3 after reading about it in the dev thread. I was hoping it'd be stable enough that I could test it out but still have a usable phone. Lockups and lag prevent that.
However, quickly switching between CM7 and the ICS alphas would make it bearable. Right now the easiest way is nandroids.
I tried installing the newest ICS build through boot manager while running the last CM7 nightly. It installed fine, but when I would boot into it from Boot Manager, it would go to the CM7 boot animation and go on for ever.
Finally, I broke down and just wiped my phone and installed ICS. Its pretty sweet, but not something I want to use as a daily driver just yet, so I figured I would install CM7 through Boot Manager. I have tried several times and while installing I either get a "Unfortunately, Boot Manager has stopped working" or a reboot.
It does not seem like it is going to work... might try a different ROM or another CM7 build later. Would love to have these dual booting as well but right now it doesn't seem possible. If anybody has progress on this, let us know!
Thats exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks for testing it out! Think I'll hold off on Boot Manager and just keep backup/restoring.
So did anyone of you get ICS working on boot manager? It would be great if the beta version would be working. Do you have any ideas what I could try to get it working? It didn't work as normal install. And as nandroid backup it didn't work, too.
It should be working via nandroid, thats how I've been testing the OMX releases as they come out. All a nandroid is doing is backing up /root, /system, /data, /datadata, and /cache. Since both GB and ICS use those paths, nandroid is version-independent.
Could not boot into ROM1 from ICS
I installed Boot Manager while running ics-deck ROM on my Evo 4g. I installed MIUI on slot 1 and the install went fine. I had to select ext2 fs and make sure that my screen stayed on (I had a setCPU profile to throttle CPU on screen-off) and that no other app interrupted the slot install.
After installing, I tried to boot into MIUI in slot 1 and got stuck in bootloader. Could not go past even into recovery. Thankfully through trial and error I found a way to boot into recovery. (flashed Amon-Ra from bootloader, said 'No' to power down and then chose to go to recovery). Once in recovery, I flashed the update.zip from the Bootloader 'PhoneRom' directory to be able to boot back into ICS.
Unless I am doing something wrong here and if someone else has this working, I'd say BM does not work in ICS. I am able to load ICS into slot 1 and boot into it though. It just cannot be the PhoneRom for some reason.
Anyone have this same issue? Or a solution? I'd love to keep my ICS build as the primary phone ROM.
i got ics working=) i installed cyanogen nightly as phone rom... then from there i installed on first rom cyanogen nightly and over that i did a full wipe and installed ics beta 6.1 from lord. after this i changed my phone rom again to coredroid. now i have a working ics rom in my boot manager

For two months I have tried to install Cm6 and currently shadow rom. Every time after install from clockwork or nandroid I get the same bootloop splash htc screen. I have installed other roms with no problem....there must be a common issue with cm6 & shadowrom. I have wiped full, cache, davlik and even formated system cache etc. I have a 2.x radio kouche kernel and newest hboot. I've tried changing sd cards etc. No avail......any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would try wiping dalvik/cache before the flash, flashing, then wiping dalvik/cache again before the first boot of the new rom. I would also suggest trying kings kernel or koush's test kernel by flashing them from cwm recovery directly after the rom.
Aside from that, I could only guess that you might have a corrupt area preventing a full install of your rom/kernel which isn't too uncommon but which I have no experience with. I've heard there are ways to get around this by building the kernel manually or by restoring it from another nandroid (say king's on a ruby nandroid? though I'd venture to guess Ruby would have the same problem), but it seems fairly difficult.
I'm not a developer, but I hope my suggestions can hope point you in the right direction. I'm using the latest nightlies of CM6 and they are awesome. I hope you get the chance to try it.
Thanks jaguox for such a quick reply. So I tried this.method on both cm6 and shadowrom. Wiped full wiped cache wiped davlik. Installed rom and gapp and kernel. Tried koush and kingkernal....wiped davlik...cm6 boot loop.....shadowrom brings me to android touch screen initial setup. I try to touch screen but my phone dosnt respond....screen freeze. Sussesful installs I've had are sky raider virtuous most.sense roms...the only froyo I have that works is ruby...my fav right now. I would love to have cm 6....I've posted on this forum a few times as well as cyanogen forum. I hope im not the only one with this.issue.......

Here are some more ways to potentially solve your problem. Again, I am not a developer so I am just mentioning a few solutions that might work, I am not entirely sure what is wrong with your device. I'm just trying to help you hammer away from all sides.
Are you wiping data manually too? People have noted success before where they had none before by wiping data/dalvik/cache twice before flash and once after. Not sure why this would solve anything but it is worth a try.
Try installing cyanogen without GApps (I do this anyways with the nightlies since it seems to be corrupt for some reason) and then installing them later if it boots correctly.
I use the Paid rom manager for the ease of use for nightlies, but here is a web link to the nightlies which you can try if you don't have paid: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc They are more up to date and stable at this point than 6.0.2 was (for me at least). I am using build 100 and have tried the packaged in kernel, koush test 6, and adrynalyne's, and all work well.
Adrynalyne has another kernel for AOSP roms you can try: http://adrynalyne.us/?p=79
You can also try using the phone to reformat one of your SD cards just to eliminate that potential pitfall, though I don't think you would be getting that far anyways if it was not formatted correctly (Menu>Settings>SD card). This will wipe any data currently on your SD card.
Now, I would wait for someone else to provide confirmation that this should work since I haven't done it personally, but you could also try restoring boot.img from a Ruby Nandroid with KK1/2 installed (Install Ruby, install KK, make nandroid backup, install CM6 w/o Gapps, nandroid>advanced restore>select ruby nandroid>Restore boot). This should restore a working AOSP kernel for CM6/shadow to use however I am unaware if there are any other consequences. I also suggest KK or adrynalyne since I do not know what Ruby uses and KK and adrynalyne have both worked for me on CM6. The reason I think the kernel is not installing correctly is because your touchscreen is not working and AOSP roms use a different driver than sense roms for it. I could be completely off base however.
Also, out of curiosity, which radio version exactly are you using?
Hi Jaguox,
Thanks again for the help here is what I tried. I do own the market app ClockworkMod Revovery v2.5.0.5/rom manager. I came from Ruby 1.1.1 with the newest kouch Kernal and radio 2.15.00.07.28. I then wiped data, cache and dalvik twice. I then installed cm nightley 96&98/shadowrom (two seperate installs of course for each rom). I then installed Adrynalyne/Kingkernal kernals and wiped dalvik cache once more. I did not install gapps and let the rom boot. Interesting enough the roms bypassed the intial setup and booted to the home screen. But both roms with both kernals still would not let me have touch access to the screen. So I could see the roms but I couldnt touch them...aaaahhhhhhh the irony. I also tried a reformatted sd card.....same outcome. One time out of the hundred I have tried in the past two months allowed me to initiate my account in a cm nightly and access apps. I rebooted after a fix permission and got a boot loop. That was the farthest I have ever made it. Its strange that both these two roms that share the same dna give my phone the same effect. I appreciate anyones help in solving this mystery.
Thanks in advance!

So shadow rom first release woked for you? There must be some common denominater for why our phones cannot take certain aosp roms? Ruby works but not cm6 or shadow......very strange.
So I think shadow rom found the fix to the issue I was having....hopefully this thread helps anyone in the same vote as me.

What kernel are you using and which firmware were you on before you flashed cm7?
sinkster©
The kernel was something.something.56, I believe. (or was that the firmware?)
I'm sort of stuck in this place and I can't get out. I suppose if push came to shove I could find those posts about putting my phone back into its stock state. But I'd rather not. The stock Sony experience was terrible.
Firmwares ok then, did you use the kernel in the cm7 zip or from DoomLord (i.e. fastboot flash boot boot.img)?
sinkster©
I first tried the boot.img from Doomlord (v15). But that wouldn't even get to the home screen so then I tried boot.img from the cm7 zip.
i have same problem
Best idea is to start from scratch. Check fxp thread for anyone else having issues too.

You have to use Doom's CM7 kernel on CM7, not the one for SE's ROM.

keep getting random reboots anyone know why?
Resolved
OK, this has been quite a journey but I was able to get CM7 working.
1st, I had to put the phone back into a stock state, like I just got it from Sony. My phone was unbranded and not from a carrier so this wasn't too hard. But I can't even sort of retrace the steps I took to get it back to the stock version of the SE Xperia Arc software. I never strayed from XDA so all of the answers are here, but what a rabbit hole that was.
2nd, the "latest stable release" on the CM7 site that I linked to in my original post is, in fact, completely unstable. Random reboots, stuck at the loading animation, etc. You need to use version 7.1.0.1 instead. Download that version, flash the boot.img that's contained within that zip and then update in fastboot to the 7.1.0.1 update.zip
This took far too long to figure out but I was able to get the thing running. And it looks so much better than Sony's terrible UI. What on Earth were they thinking?
If you downloaded CM7 on Cyanogenmod websites, I think you have to delete anthalservice.apk or something. It is located in /system/app/ or /data/, can't remember correctly.
I just flashed the newest version of the codename rom (JustLoveCodename-Android-(Alpha1)2.0.0-RC to my epic 4g touch. I also flashed the Google apps pack that comes with it. It seemed nice at first, but then I tried using the market and it just kept telling me there was a server error. I tried re-downloading it from third party sites but nothing was working. So I went to flash back to Calkulins rom. As I got into recovery mode, it seems the phone somehow changed itself to another recovery system (It might've been CWM) instead of the rogue one I had prior from the initial root process. I tried flashing anyway and the a picture of a dead android with his front opened up and a red exclamation popped up. I rebooted the phone to see what would happen. It brought me right back to Code name's rom. I tried it 3 more times yet the same thing happened every time. I also tried a battery pull. It did not work. I am thinking of doing one of two things: I am going to either go through the initial root stages again or I am going to try to delete the Codename rom from my SD card and try flashing another rom (preferably Calkulin). Please tell me if this is the right thing to do or if there is another method of fixing this problem. Thank you for taking time to read this. I really appreciate any help. FYI: My phone is still in working condition, but I am stuck using the Codename rom which I really do not want to use anymore. I just was able to get ES file manager working and i checked my external sd folder, but there is nothing in it. When i look at my storage from system settings, it says i still have the memory on it. So why is ES not displaying it? =( I re-installed rogue cwm and flashed calkulin's rom again and everything is fine. Heed my advice and be wary of the Codename Rom. Editor's, you can delete this thread if you wish. =)

K. The reason you aren't getting to the old version of CWM is because you flashed Codename. Codename is an AOSP ROM which has been known to cause bricks when flashing with Rogue. Because if the bricks the developers opted to but include CWM of any kind in the kernel. What you need to do is find a replacement ROM and download it. Once you've downloaded it you need to flash the EL26 stock CWM (you can find it in the OP of the link below) then use it to flash your new ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=295021
Well you're at it is suggest reading the How Not To Brick Your Phone thread in general.
Good luck!
Codename rom is an AOSP rom so your external SD storage will be under /emmc and not /sdcard/externalsd. That's why it wasn't showing up. Same thing with CM9 and AOKP, not because it doesn't work. Also I wouldn't recommend flashing anything ICS related from rogue recovery, js.
And recoveries changed because with our phones, the recovery is packed into the kernel itself so when you flashed Codename, the recovery changed to the stock recovery included with the roms kernel. Hope that clears it up lol.

If you want a fresh install, the best way is to Odin the el29 kernal. From there, get into your recovery and wipe and flash away.

I recently recieved my One V and finally decided on rooting/installing a custom rom. I came from an Optimus V and had no problems installing a custom rom in that.
However it seems that no matter what kernel/rom I use they eventually lock up within the first 5 minutes of booting and restart. I've tried practically everything and can't get them to work. I wanted to ideally run the CDMA Pacman Rom w/ the Supersick kernel. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I have can have this working before work tomorrow.
Did you do a full wipe ???

"It ain't workin" isn't enough information for anyone to troubleshoot from.
Be more specific on what you did, which instructions you followed, what ROM and what kernel, what sort of computer you're running, where you're downloading from, and the steps you are taking. If none of the ROMs are working, the problem is probably not the ROM, if you know what I mean...

Full wipe as in? (sorry, still a bit new). I did do a factory reset in CWM before installing whichever ROM I was trying at the time. I wiped all caches too.

I used the HTC One V AIO Toolkit to unlock the bootloader, get root, install CWM 6.0, create a backup and then install a kernel (I used the Super Sick JB one). From there I used CWM to gain access to my SD card and transferred over the CDMA Pacman ROM (after wiping everything clean) and then installed the ROM. It booted up successfully however as stated in a minute or so it would freeze up and restart itself. Even if I don't do anything after a reboot it'll still reboot itself anyways.
I did a bit of research and I'm thinking it could be due to the OTA Radio update from 2-3 weeks ago? I'm at my bootloader now and it says I have radio version 1.00.00.0928.
Any further help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. It's worth noting that I've tried many different Kernels (repeating all the steps above with full wipes every time) and different ROMs that were supported by the kernels. I've even tried to restore my phone back to stock and it just starts skipping at the VM Boot screen.
Oh, and I'm running Windows 7.
You mean the Rom booted normally right ?? If yes then the problem is with the Rom

Pardon my ignorance but that just doesn't make sense. I've tried several different ROMs with the correct kernel's (Pacman, CM9/10, AOKP JB) and it's all the same scenario. They all boot (or occasionally don't boot and restart themselves at the boot animation) and then reboot themselves once they're pass the lock screen.
Like I said even currently if I restore my stock rom file it just loops at the VM Boot animation (which doesn't play fluidly).
Figured out the issue . It was radio version 1.00.00.0928 messing up my kernel.
Hi
Guys i need your help. Pleas can someone tell me for now what mods is much better for I927R (Also withe very stability and with much less bugs) ?!
I found Liquid Smooth but it have some problem so i need your guide about other mods.
Thank you
ICS Roms are the best and most stable... Stock ICS from AT&T UCLJ3 or any roms based off of it ... Dman's daily driver, Ice Pop Rom by RawRaw, LiteRom by TheGreaterGood...
Unfortunately none of those are being maintained but I had been running Dman's for the last couple months, great battery life when paired w/ JuiceDefender (20+hours of heavy use when I'm not sleeping).
Now the newest CM10.1 by Spyke seems pretty solid ... Just a couple of issues.
ICS is the only one you'll get bug free, though. Stock is hard to compete with when we're pairing up roms without a true Devdeloper.
On this subject, I've just reverted back to using IcePop ROM after (unhappily) downgrading from Spyke's latest 10.1 ROM - just mainly because of the Bluetooth headset issue, which I really need working for work purposes.
I'm just wondering if there are any ICS builds that have GPS working correctly? I tried flashing the Rogers modem (since my phone was originally a Rogers import, flashed to AT&T ICS, then played with ICS from there) and first time I ran GPS status it took 771 seconds... I'm going to keep trying just in case that was the first time only, but 12 minutes is still a very long time for an initial fix .
Also - I've found that I'm getting more and more bootloop problems even with clean installs - so wiping cache, data, dalvic, etc. Is there some way to do a *thorough* wipe without bricking the phone? I can back all my data up no worries, but next time I move to JB (in the optimism that the BT issues will be fixed soon, judging by the positive progress being made by Spyke ) I would like to do a clean build from scratch and not have to gamble being able to start the phone up again
David - I always go into mount options of CWM and format /system prior to a new flash .. I'm not sure if flashing with Odin will get rid of any previous settings, its something to attempt though.
I, also, had reverted to using JB Because GPS wouldn't work ... There's a thread in here (search for it) that shows the solution to the GPS fix, its editing sirgps.conf and gps.conf ... I was getting a fix on GPS in under 30 seconds.... GPS was a huge let down in the stock ICS rom, Even when using TheGreaterGoods LiteRom w/ GPS fix I found after a couple of days my gps didn't hold....
Thanks for the reply.
I was considering formatting /system this morning when I was getting stuck in a boot loop from trying to get M3 running, but decided it was a risk I'd have to check up on first . Next time I do a build from scratch (I'm going to resist until the BT stuff is working - fingers crossed!) I'll do that.
I remember having a look at the gps.conf fix but don't recall anything about sirgps.conf - so I will look it up, thanks!
As an aside, I've been checking the GPS fix a couple of times since my last post and it is coming up in under 30 seconds each time... I'm wondering if my attempt to flash the Rogers modem did in fact fix the issue... I'd do a reboot but I'm too scared I won't get the phone up again XD
EDIT:
Found the fix, I did a few of the changes (rather than all of them), and it's now picking up 8 satellites instead of 3-5, and getting a stronger signal from each... and all I did was point it to the AU ntp server, and tell it I'm not on the ATT network . I'll save the suggested settings to a text file on my SD card so next time I'm out and about and if it plays up I'll have access to the details.

Had to restart my phone tonight and got caught in a boot loop again... after trying a few things I flashed Lite Kernel (I'm still using ICS again at the moment) and that seems to have solved the boot loop issues. I'm thinking that with all the ROM flashing I've been doing the fact that I actually had the phone running without flashing an ICS specific kernel (after running JB) was screwing things up.
Interestingly though, I tried installing Spyke's M3 ROM from a complete user wipe, system format, everything gone - and I still got a boot loop so next time I try it I'll grab a copy of LiteKernel and do that separately.

That has to be very concerning to you, I've never had an issue booting any ROM. And very strange flashing the Kernel separately would resolve your booting issues...
Did you try to flash any of the stock roms w/ Odin ? I have read that we can only flash back to stock Gingerbread from JellyBean if we flash a GB or ICS CWM ROM and then go back with Odin otherwise there will be boot issues.
If I were in your position I would try and do a full revert back to the earliest version of gingerbread I could find on samfirmware and then use Kies to udpate - THEN I would retry flashing to a newer JB or ICS Rom.
Pretty time consuming but that is the price we pay to mod

Not yet. I'll have to check which ones I have - I'm certain I have the AT&T ICS rom from November but then I'd have to go digging through my email for the unlock code again, so I'm trying to avoid doing that at this point . If i can find the stock GB Rogers rom at some point I might flash that one back on before I do any more upgrades. The phone is up and running at this point though, so I'm not too fussed. I've also noticed that it's a little quicker than before so I think the version of LiteKernel I installed was a good idea anyway.

I've tried pulling the battery a few times, but probably no longer than 30 seconds. Next time I'll give it a couple of minutes. I tend to do this late at night when I'm not expecting any calls (except fire brigade but I have a pager for that too) so time without a phone is no issue to me
Yesssss
After much irritation at continually getting stuck in boot loops again, I've 'Oneclicked' the phone twice, got fed up with the AT&T ICS ROM within about 5 minutes, gave up on IcePop because of buggy GAPPS...
And thought, bugger it. Format /system. Factory reset. Clear cache + Dalvik. Installed in this order:
Jellybean 4.2 ROM from 0217
Spyke's M3 update
PAC rom
GAPPS dated 0427
"Kick-ass Kernel"
and it BOOTED FIRST GO
I am pleased
Does JB need already to be installed before putting the M3 revisions on? Maybe that's where I've been going wrong all along, because my attempts at running both the standard M3 and PAC ROM (even immediately after OneClicking) resulted in boot loops or eternal boot loading.
Uhh... what do you mean by "One Clicking" ??
I know there's a "superoneclick" that will flash and root the rom all at once, but I never personally found it to work for our glides.
Using CWM and installing the ROM through the CWM boot menu is severaly key presses so ... not too sure what you're referring to.
Also, I've always downloaded to a hardwired computer then copied over USB to my phone and flashed ... sometimes the download will have errors if I grab it from my phone.
I'm assuming it's a variant of SuperOneClick... The title is 'Odin3Excution v1.85' and then underneath it says 'I927UCLG9_OneClick'.
And it worked just fine, I did have a stock rom that I tried to flash with Odin but it kept giving me errors, the OneClick method worked.

Interesting... for future reference, www.samfirmware.com has the stock firmwares, then there's the superUser file floating around the forums that allows you to root by flashing it. Passed that, remove bloat.
Glad you got it working! Welcome to JB
